PART A: which statement best describes how the bankers actions develop the theme of the story “the bet”

English
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
5 0

Part A: A: the bankers hasty thoughtless actions lead to trouble and despair for him.

Part B: B: “desperate gambling on the stock exchange, wild speculation and the excitability which he could not get over even in advancing years, had by degrees led to the decline of his fortune and the proud, fearless, self-confident millionaire has become a banker of middling rank, trembling at every rise and fall in his investments”

In Part A, A is the correct answer because the banker is constantly taking making quick decisions with his money. We see this in the supporting evidence of option B. It describes his gambling as desperate and him making decisions based on "wild speculation". We see the despair further on in the story when it says, "When he got home he lay on his bed, but his tears and emotion kept him for hours from sleeping.”

Write an essay on corruption​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The United Nations Convention against Corruption is the only legally binding universal anti-corruption instrument. The Convention's far-reaching approach and the mandatory character of many of its provisions make it a unique tool for developing a comprehensive response to a global problem. The Convention covers five main areas: preventive measures, criminalization and law enforcement, international cooperation, asset recovery, and technical assistance and information exchange. The Convention covers many different forms of corruption, such as bribery, trading in influence, abuse of functions, and various acts of corruption in the private sector.

17. How can we characterize the relationship between Huck and Jim? Does Huck ever view Jim as an equal, and vice versa?
belka [17]
Huck and Jim initially start out on two different levels of the totem pole: with Huck, a young, white male being on the top; and Jim, an escape slave, being on the bottom. Huck understands this and thus treats Jim poorly (such as when he plays tricks on Jim or looks down upon him), but after their time spent together as runaways, Huck begins to understand and respect Jim— and even care for him.
